Tinting Tail Lights

[MINK]

Yep, if you actually have a clue what you are doing you can match it pretty easily.

I've had to do it, takes time but not a problem!

I HATE plastidip tail lights... and I'm sorry Dan, but those headlight brows or whatever there called look retarded IMO.

Send them to mink.

Insides are getting painted. Just doin something different for a little while.

Back in the day I picked up some testors window tint from the hobby shop - did a couple layers combined with wet sanding in between and clear cover. They came out mint - but didn't stay on the truck long enough to stand the test of time...

I've used VHT Niteshades for a bunch of tail light projects, take your time and do it right, and it will turn out like it should. And it doesn't fade away after a year like someone said above, it doesn't fade at all. My last set that I did on mine looks the same as it did 2 years ago when I did it. And the GMC I had prior to that, it was on there for 6 years and still goin strong.

I have nothing bad to say about it as it has worked out great for me.

I have seen a few shotty jobs done with it, but that's usually people who don't take the time to clean and prep them properly.

I used VHT night shades on my tailights and cab lights..the tailights lasted around 2 yrs w/o any signs of fading from what I could tell..however you have to do it correctly..clean em' up w/ soap/water. Lightly scrub w/ 2000 grit sandpaper to get them nice and dull & dry em' off. put a light coat of paint thinner on them (well ventilated area)..wipe them down again before applying paint..wait about 15min between each coat & DEFINITELY do not put more than 2-3 if you d not want them dark.. I believe I followed up w/ 3 coats of clear coat before reinstalling them..maybe not the text book way but they have held up nice through snow,sleet & everything else so far..Good luck!
